Colic

A new review shows giving your baby probiotics during his or her first three months of life can help keep colic, gastric reflux and constipation away. According to the study finding, the result will be a happier baby and lower stress for parents trying to deal with with common gastrointestinal problems that affect infants.

Supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis may help prevent the onset of functional gastrointestinal disorders such as colic in healthy infants, according to new research backed by probiotic player BioGaia

In a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized studies examining the effects of probiotics in infants 3 months or younger, with excessive crying (colic), of the 12 studies selected for analysis (of the 1180 initially identified), which included a total of 1825 infants, results found that infant crying was reduced with probiotic administration in 6 of the 12 studies.

A first review to establish whether giving babies probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri) is an effective way to prevent and manage colic concludes there is not enough evidence to say it does, especially in formula-fed babies. However, in the case of exclusively breastfed babies who cry excessively or have colic, it may be effective.
